The "which famous person died today" thread

[East Level 2]

I'm that old I forgot what I did next Tuesday

I'm that old I've forgot what I've forgotten.

Many of the deaths reported on here are of people who were younger than me.
Tick tock.

What worries me is when I read of celebrities passing in their 60s and 70s and know they went at a relatively early age even though they had the best medical treatment available. Sometimes I worry so much that I don't have chocolate or fried food for a few hours.

They have probably spent a lifetime abusing drink and drugs considerably shortening their lives whereas a few mars bars is not going to kill you

Most of them have experimented with everything as you say and have had a life of excess and more than likely have pickled their innards.

It's a wonder why we don't lose more of them at a greater number.

I believe he passed, it's just the how that I'm wondering about. There aren't many good ways to go, but that would be brutal, if true.

IF he did go that way the term "Passing" wouldn't fit his demise as many of the outlets are using that term.

And the Bear would still be high as a kite hunkering in the woods or looking for a picnic basket because it had the munchies.

The bit about being killed by a bear has disappeared from his Wikipedia page so maybe it was lies

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

I guess Limp Bizkit's Eat You Alive isn't appropriate at this time.

Horrific way to go if true. Enjoy their concerts. They only have about 10/12 good songs but the energy from them live is incredible. Their performance at Woodstock 99 is legendary.

RIP Sam.

Wasn't there a film about a Grizzly Bear discovering coke in a forest, dropped off a plane, by drug smugglers ?

Chess Grandmaster Daniel Naroditsky has just passed away at the age of 29

Big online presence in the chess world as a streamer, commentator and coach. Was shocked to see the news this evening.

Former World Champion Vladimir Kramnik was at his throat the past year or so on a crusade to prove he was a cheater and even up to yesterday noted a difference in his mood and appearance online but continued his harassment.
